First Post - Need Help With American Eagle

H0B0 J0E · 04-28-2009, 02:25 AM

Ron,

Thanks for your help!

I'll try to post some real photos (from a real camera) soon.

You've made me curious... Can you confirm whether my measurement of the bore indeed indicates 9mm (I know, it makes sense, but I'll ask anyway)? If so, can you discern from what you've seen and what I've written that the gun has been retrofitted with a 9mm chamber and barrel? Why in God's name would someone do such a thing?

FYI, the barrel has no serial number (that I can see) let alone a serial number matching the receiver, etc. Also, the front sight looks a little different than others that I've seen in photos of 1900 American Eagle Lugers.

Do you think the reworking has destroyed the value? I'm just curious - this particular item has immense sentimental value to me and I would never sell...

Thanks again.
